Who this is for: landlords, property managers and real estate professionals dealing with vacant units on a deadline, an unexpected move-out, a closing date that won’t wait, or a portfolio of properties that needs consistent, fast turnover. This isn’t the tenant’s guide to protecting a deposit, it’s the operational playbook for getting a unit ready, fast, without surprises.

The Scenario : A Tenant Moved Out, the Next One Moves In Soon

A tenant gives notice and leaves unexpectedly. A lease ends and the new occupant’s move-in date is already locked in. A sale closes and the buyer wants the keys handed over spotless. In every version of this scenario, the constraint is the same: a hard deadline, a vacant unit, and zero room for delay.

A broom and an all-purpose cleaner won’t close that gap fast enough or thoroughly enough. What’s needed is a team sized correctly for the timeline, with a clear scope and no ambiguity about access or cost before work begins.

House / larger unit2-3 cleanersFull day

With the right team size assigned upfront, most units fit comfortably within a 24-72 hour turnaround window, even when a unit has been neglected for a long tenancy and needs the full deep-clean scope, not just a surface refresh.

Access Logistics : You Don’t Need to Be On-Site

Landlords managing multiple properties or working a regular job can’t always be present to let a cleaning team in. That’s standard, not a complication :

🏢

Property Manager or Agent Coordination

We coordinate access timing directly with your property manager, leasing agent, or concierge, no need for you to relay messages back and forth.
🔐

Lockbox Access

For units with a lockbox in place, our team can access independently at the scheduled time without any in-person handoff required.
🏬

Building Concierge

For condo or apartment buildings with on-site staff, we coordinate elevator booking and access timing directly with the concierge or building management.
📦

Working Around Remaining Items

If a few boxes or items are still in the unit, our team works strategically around them to clean floors, baseboards and walls without needing the space fully empty first.

💡
A Note for Property Managers Handling Multiple Units

“If you manage a portfolio of properties, the biggest efficiency gain isn’t a faster individual clean, it’s a standing relationship with one cleaning provider who already knows your buildings, your access procedures, and your standard scope. Calling around for quotes every time a unit turns over wastes time you don’t have during a tight turnaround. A dedicated point of contact who can be reached directly the moment a unit becomes vacant is worth more than chasing the lowest one-off price each time.”

What’s Included in a Turnover Clean

Full kitchen: interior oven, fridge, all cabinets and drawers
Bathroom deep clean: hard water and limescale removal
Floors, baseboards, walls: spot-cleaned for marks and scuffs
Closets and storage: emptied, wiped, ready for new occupant’s items
Light fixtures, switch plates, vents: the details inspectors and new tenants actually check

Volume Pricing for Property Managers & Multi-Unit Landlords

Managing more than one property changes the math. Volume pricing, a fixed point of contact, and standing priority scheduling mean every turnover gets handled the same reliable way, without re-negotiating terms or re-explaining your buildings each time a unit comes vacant. Property management companies, real estate agents and landlords with multiple units across Montreal, Laval and Longueuil are welcome to request a custom volume rate.

FAQ — Fast Turnaround Property Cleaning

❓ How fast can a unit be cleaned between tenants in Montreal?

A standard apartment can typically be fully cleaned within 4 to 6 hours by a properly sized team, allowing same-day or next-day turnover for most units. Larger properties or those requiring extensive deep cleaning may need a full day, but can still usually be completed within a 24-48 hour window with advance notice.

❓ Can cleaning be booked with less than 48 hours notice?

Yes, many cleaning companies reserve a portion of their capacity specifically for urgent or last-minute requests. While advance booking of 3-4 weeks is recommended for predictable turnovers, same-day or next-day emergency service is often available for unexpected vacancies.

❓ How does key access work for landlords who can’t be on-site?

Most cleaning companies coordinate directly with property managers, real estate agents, concierges or lockboxes to access units without requiring the landlord to be present. Access arrangements are confirmed in advance and the cleaning team works independently within the unit.

❓ Do property management companies get volume pricing for multiple units?

Yes, property management companies and landlords managing multiple units typically qualify for volume pricing and priority scheduling, with a dedicated point of contact for coordinating turnovers across a portfolio of properties.

❓ What happens if a unit is in worse condition than expected?

Reputable cleaning companies conduct a quick assessment upon arrival and communicate immediately if the scope exceeds what was quoted, rather than leaving the job incomplete. Transparent pricing for additional scope should be agreed upon before extra work begins.
